Just a little question: are these moves really suited for real life knife fighting? because in honesty, they look a little too fancy rather than practical.

[LibreFighting]

@nunvikingsofthesea We tend to make the movements a little bit bigger and the exchanges a little cleaner in these vids to make it more visually appealing and entertaining to watch.

[BushidoBudo9000]

This are some amazing moves. But one thing is, if this is for self defense, the training you teach is just straight up killing. In a real situation, if you and the attacker has a knife and you kill the guy, you go to jail. At least in other forms of FMA they train so you cut the guy defensivley. Not stabbing the guy in the throat 20 times.

Thank you for the comments. In addition to teaching how to use the blade, we also have our students study the laws regarding the use of lethal force, and local statutes regarding the carrying and use of blades. We also routinely show them pictures of actual knife wounds after sparring sessions so that they understand the damage they are actually doing. In short, we make sure that our students understand the legal, moral, and psychological ramifications involved in using a blade.

[BushidoBudo9000]

Fair enough. I suppose it is good to learn all the aspects of the blade. Regardless, your training seems to be very proficient. If i had the option of training with you, I most definitely would.

If you ever find yourself in southern California we would love to have you stop in and train with us! Keep in touch!

@nunvikingsofthesea Yes it's designed to look appealing, but the exaggeration isn't by much at all and you're taught the real shit once you're in anyways.

Plus, just because something is fancy, doesn't make it less effective. Just means you have to be better skilled to use it effectively.

one way to find out if these moves are suited for real life fighting is to fight the hardcore filipino fighters. if there are news of knife fighting here in the philippines surely there are dead people.

My squad leader teaches almost identical drills, and uses pieces of them effectively in knife on knife sparring. You'll never perfectly pull off a sequence of moves used for a drill but you'll use bits and pieces. It's just to teach a person different options and ingrain them through patterns of movement that can be repeated.

the shorter the fightthe better

great!!!!!!!!!!

Good vid....freakin ninjas!!!

[librecombatives]

@Elvirth24 Each movement is drilled in isolation and trained to perfection first. Just like a boxer throws thousands of jabs against heavy bags, focus mitts, without resistance before sparring. The isolated movement teaches the student exactly how to engage. As each movement can be used offensively and defensively, once we move in with an offensive attack, we can move directly to another, disengage, or defend if needed. So we go back and forth first to learn it, then spar to apply it.
